Energy Award Supports North Carolina Alternative Fuel Efforts
RALEIGH, N.C.– The North Carolina Department of Transportation is supporting efforts led by the N.C. Solar Center at N.C. State University to reduce transportation related emissions with a three-year $6,200,000 award for the Clean Fuel Advanced Technology (CFAT) project. The CFAT 2013-15 project is the third phase of an initiative that began in 2006 and was previously administered with $3,000,000 in state and federal funding.
The CFAT project focuses on improving air quality in the 24 North Carolina counties that are in non-attainment or maintenance status for national air quality standards. The project centers around three primary activities: education and outreach, emission reduction sub-awards and recognition of exemplary efforts among fleets and organizations that implement clean transportation-related policies and practices. Phase three of the project will include the following new components:
- A public education campaign, using billboards and other related media such as radio, television and social media;
- The establishment of a technical advisory committee to develop clean transportation training activities;
- The creation of a state-wide green fleet program to enhance opportunities for continuing expansion of clean transportation policies and practices.
The grant awarded to the N.C. Solar Center is funded with federal dollars through the Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) program that is administered annually by NCDOT. CMAQ funds support projects that improve air quality by reducing transportation-related emissions. The most recent federal transportation funding bill, MAP-21, places new emphasis on the use of CMAQ funds for electric and natural gas infrastructure along with diesel engine retrofits and other efforts that reduce fine particle pollution.
The majority of federal CMAQ funding supporting the CFAT project is budgeted for sub-award projects that will be allocated through an annual call for project process. Over $4,000,000 is budgeted for eligible CMAQ technologies, such as vehicle and refueling/recharging equipment for biodiesel and E85 (a blend of 85% ethanol and 15% gasoline), electric vehicles, natural gas and propane in public and private sector fleets. Diesel retrofits and idle reduction technologies are also eligible for funding support of up to 80% of project costs
The CFAT project intends to continue successful partnerships with Centralina and Triangle J Council of Governments (COGs) through the Centralina Clean Fuels and Triangle Clean Cities coalitions, as well as expand education and outreach efforts to the Piedmont Triad Regional Council and Upper Coastal Plain and Ker-Tarr COGs. "NCDOT's funding will significantly expand education, outreach and deployment of alternative fuel and advanced vehicle technology to help reduce transportation-related emissions in effected counties ", said Anne Tazewell, clean transportation manager at the N.C. Solar Center.
About the North Carolina Solar Center:
The North Carolina Solar Center, as part of the College of Engineering at North Carolina State University advances a sustainable energy economy by educating, demonstrating and providing support for clean energy technologies, practices, and policies. It serves as a resource for innovative, green energy technologies through technology demonstration, technical assistance, outreach and training. For more information visit: http://www.ncsc.ncsu.edu.

Less than 24 hours after he was called racist epithets by fans at Fenway Park, Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones received a nice applause before his first at-bat against the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.
Jones, one of just 62 African-Americans on opening-day rosters, was the target of racist comments during Monday's game, which he says was "one of the worst" he's ever endured during his 12-year career.
The Orioles are in their second game of a three-game set in Boston.

A step forward against HIV abuses | Jeffrey O'Malley
02 Aug 2012
In a landmark but little noticed decision, a Namibian court ruled this week that state hospitals illegally sterilized three HIV-positive women. While the judge found no link to their HIV-positive status, his decision paves the way for legal action by other women who claim they were coerced into sterilization because they are infected with the virus that causes AIDS, as part of an effort to slow its spread in the southern African country.
The women said they were given forms authorizing the procedure just before and after delivering babies by caesarean sections without being told what they were signing—while they were either in acute pain or in labor.
This important decision affirms the rights of all women to the important standard of informed consent and points to the specific vulnerability of women and girls living with HIV with regard to their reproductive rights.
A just-released report by the Global Commission on HIV and the Law, an independent Commission convened by UNDP on behalf of the joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), highlights the issues of coerced sterilization and forced abortion among HIV-positive women.
The report, HIV and the Law: Risks, Rights, and Health, found that "coercive and discriminatory practices in health care settings are rife, including forced HIV testing, breaches of confidentiality and the denial of health care services, as well as forced sterilizations and abortions."
Since 2001, when forced and coerced sterilization and abortion among HIV-positive women were first documented, reports have emerged from Chile, Venezuela, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Indonesia, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda, and Zambia. Some women report being denied access to HIV and health services unless they agree to abortion or sterilization.
Much work remains to abolish punitive laws and practices related to HIV, such as mandatory HIV-related registration, testing, and forced treatment regimens; to facilitate access to sexual and reproductive health and rights; and to stop forced abortion and coerced sterilization of women and girls.
The decision this week is a step in the right direction.
Talk to us: How can the law help or hinder effective responses to HIV?

Rep. Paul drew parallels between the current push to isolate Iran and the events that led up to the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003: "Listening to the debate on the Floor on this motion and the underlying bill it feels as if we are back in 2002 all over again: the same falsehoods and distortions used to push the United States into a disastrous and unnecessary one trillion dollar war on Iraq are being trotted out again to lead us to what will likely be an even more disastrous and costly war on Iran. The parallels are astonishing."
Continuing his speech, Paul was critical of what he described as "scare-mongering," such as assertions that Iran will have missiles that can hit the United States in one year, and that Iran will soon be able to detonate a nuclear weapon. Asking where we had heard such claims before, Paul cited examples of similarly alarmist warnings issued about Iraq during Saddam Hussein's rule.
The congressman also noted that Iran, which is a signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, has never been found in violation of that treaty. Furthermore, noted Paul, Iran is not capable of enriching uranium to the necessary level to manufacture nuclear weapons. Finally, according to the entire U.S. Intelligence Community, Iran is not currently working on a nuclear weapons program.
In summing up his case, Paul observed that the sanctions proposed in HR 2194, and the blockade of Iran that would be necessary to fully enforce them, are in themselves acts of war according to international law. Therefore, he asserted, a vote for sanctions on Iran is a vote for war against Iran.
This was not the first time that Dr. Paul has spoken out emphatically against imposing sanctions against Iran. He has frequently used his "Texas Straight Talk" column posted on his congressional website to bolster his argument. For example, in his TST column for April 17, 2006, "Sanctions against Iran," he noted: "Economic sanctions are acts of aggression. Sanctions increase poverty and misery among the very poorest inhabitants of targeted nations, and they breed tremendous resentment against those imposing them. But they rarely hurt the political and economic elites responsible for angering American leaders in the first place."
Westerners often wonder how radical terrorist organizations such as al-Qaeda so easily recruit committed followers willing to risk their lives to attack us. It is quite likely that the "tremendous resentment" that Rep. Paul attributes to the use of sanctions has played more than a minor role in inciting such fanaticism.
Addressing a Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on October 30, 2009, Rep. Paul spoke out against H.R. 2194, the Iran Refined Petroleum Sanctions Act of 2009. In making his case, Paul noted how our previous interventions into the affairs of other nations have usually backfired. As on case-in-point Paul noted:
When we went into Iraq, there were unintended consequences. There is still no stability there, but one thing for certain… Iraq is a much closer ally of Iran right now. We drove the Iraqis into the hands of the Iranians and there has been an expression here that this is good [...], but we still should be concerned about China. Well, if you're concerned about China, this is the best thing in the world for China. They are motivated. They have already invested in Iran. The production of petroleum products has gone up significantly in Iran, so this is a big motivation for the Iranians to do exactly what you don't want them to do....
How can we get terrified of a threat from the Iranians? You know, they are a Third World nation, up until recently, they couldn't even make their own gasoline. But because of our pressure so far, they're getting quite capable of doing it. We're driving them into the hands of the Chinese. [The Chinese] have our money. They can control us through the dollar and yet, we're driving the Chinese into taking over just as we drove the Iraqis to become close allies of the Iranians. I think our policies are deeply flawed.
Rep. Paul's December 15, 2009 congressional speech against H.R. 2194 demonstrated the value of not only knowing our history, but remembering important lessons drawn from our history:
In the late 1930s and the early 1940s the American people did not want to go into war. But there were some that were maneuvering us into war and they used the argument that you needed an event. So in June of 1941 sanctions were put against Japan, incidentally and ironically to prohibit oil products from going into Japan. Within 6 months there was the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
Excerpts from an article published by Wikipedia help us understand some of the circumstances to which Dr. Paul referred:
In an effort to discourage Japanese militarism, Western powers including Australia, the United States, Britain, and the Dutch government in exile, which controlled the petroleum-rich Netherlands East Indies, stopped selling iron ore, steel and oil to Japan, denying it the raw materials needed to continue its activities in China and French Indochina. In Japan, the government and nationalists viewed these embargoes as acts of aggression; imported oil made up about 80% of domestic consumption, without which Japan's economy, let alone its military, would grind to a halt. The Japanese media, influenced by military propagandists, began to refer to the embargoes as the "ABCD ("American-British-Chinese-Dutch") encirclement" or "ABCD line."
Faced with a choice between economic collapse and withdrawal from its recent conquests (with its attendant loss of face), the Japanese Imperial General Headquarters began planning for a war with the western powers in April or May 1941.
In his 1905-1906 work, The Life of Reason, the Spanish philosopher, essayist, poet and novelist George Santayana stated an oft-quoted principle: "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
While many Americans have heeded this principle, few of them, unfortunately, have held key positions directing U.S. foreign policy. As a result, our nation has endured the suffering wrought by almost a century of foreign entanglements and pointless wars.

One year ago, we watched New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning defy his critics en route to a second Super Bowl title. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is one win away from his first, and the "E" word -- elite, not Eli -- is beginning to bubble to the surface.
"He is one of the elite quarterbacks," New England Patriots safety Steve Gregory told The Kansas City Star after the Ravens' 28-13 AFC Championship Game win. "I know he gets a lot of flak for not being that type of guy, but he is."
The whole "is-this-quarterback-elite?" debate borders on ponderous, and the definition of the word has blurred recently. The tag arguably has more to do with contract negotiations than anything that can be measured on the football field.
It's generally accepted that Tom Brady and Peyton Manning define this generation's elite passers, so what do we make of the guy who just mowed them both down?
The word "elite" doesn't matter; the wins do. Flacco has delivered in the clutch and should be credited not only for his play, but for his leadership over a Ravens team filled with characters. Flacco usually doesn't wow you with his numbers, but -- sort of like Eli last year -- he's gone otherworldly this January and pulled Baltimore to the mountaintop.
"I'm so glad we're going to the Super Bowl right now so people can get off Joe's back," Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith said. "He led us there."
The defense and a cast of playmakers have helped, but Flacco deserves a head nod. The elite debate? That can wait. Flacco isn't finished yet.

Who Killed Anna Politkovskaya?
Letter to Anna: The Story of Journalist Politkovskaya's Death
Available for purchase at www.ps-72.com/films/lettertoanna/order.php.
On the afternoon of October 7, 2006, forty-eight-year-old Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya was at the Ramstor Shopping Center on Frunze Embankment in Moscow. In addition to her usual groceries, she was buying special food for her daughter, Vera, who was expecting her first child. Anna and Vera had been talking with each other on their cell phones throughout the day. The baby would be called Anna, after her grandmother, but Politkovskaya would not live to see her.
As the shopping center's hidden video camera later revealed, Politkovskaya was not alone. She was being followed by a man in jeans and a white turtleneck and a light-haired woman in black. They were part of a larger group of people who had been tailing her for several days. At 3:30 PM, Politkovskaya called her son, Ilya, to tell him she was on her way home. She never made it. At approximately 4 PM, she was fatally shot in the stairwell of her apartment building on Lesnaya Street. Her killer, disguising himself only with a baseball cap and apparently unconcerned by the posted warning of a security camera inside, knew the code needed to enter the building only moments before. Like many contract murderers in Moscow, he left the weapon, an Izh pistol with a silencer, at the scene of the crime.
As Eric Bergkraut's moving and forceful film, Letter to Anna: The Story of Journalist Politkovskaya's Death, makes clear, Politkovskaya, a fierce critic of the Kremlin and its policy toward Chechnya, had long been aware that her life was in danger. Bergkraut, a prominent Swiss filmmaker, had interviewed Politkovskaya numerous times while working on Coca: The Dove from Chechnya, his 2005 documentary about the conflict in Chechnya. Letter to Anna uses footage from those interviews to great effect. When she first appears in the film, Anna stares into the camera and says: "Why am I still alive? If I speak seriously about this I would understand it as a miracle. It really is a miracle."
Politkovskaya was a correspondent for one of Russia's last independent papers, the biweekly Novaya Gazeta, where she published over five hundred articles, and the author of several books. An American citizen by birth (her father was a Soviet diplomat at the UN), she had received numerous awards and honors, including an OSCE prize for journalism and democracy and an Amnesty International Global Award for Human Rights Journalism. But all this did not protect her in Russia. She had survived one attempt to kill her and had received death threats.
Several other journalists who offended the Kremlin had lost their lives. These included two colleagues from Anna's paper—Igor Domnikov, who was brutally beaten by a hired thug and later died (the killer is in prison, but his sponsor was never identified); and Yury Shchekochikhin, who died in July 2003 of a sudden, mysterious illness, apparently the result of poisoning.1 Paul Klebnikov, editor of the Russian edition of Forbes magazine, who wrote about corruption in Russia and Chechnya—and…

Reed Powell had zipped up and down the stairs leading to the second level of Kneller Athletic Center a hundred times during his four undergraduate years at Clark University. But on that mid-October day in 2011, as he stood at the base of the incline, the 12 steps were daunting.
Gaunt, gasping for air and grasping a cane, Powell had stopped twice already and took a sip of water in the building's lobby before beginning his climb to visit men's basketball coach Paul Phillips.
By the time Powell got to the top, he was winded and too tired to walk down the hall to Phillips' office. So, Phillips came out and sat with Powell on the top step.
Powell didn't tell Phillips that day — and, based on Powell's appearance, Phillips probably wouldn't have believed him anyway — but way, way in the back of his mind, Powell knew he would play basketball for the Cougars again.
He was physically weak, yes, but Powell's mind, heart and soul were as strong as ever.
Powell, the older of two sons of Jerry Powell and Lynnel Reed-Powell, grew up on Birch Street, about five houses away from Clark's Dolan Field House, learned to play basketball in the St. Peter's Church youth league, and attended University Park Campus School.
In 2010, Powell earned his bachelor's degree in business management from Clark, the alma mater of his mom and his grandmother, Catherine Reed, and where he played three seasons of basketball and helped the Cougars to the NCAA tournament as a senior. His entire sophomore season was wiped out by a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his knee.
After graduation, Powell would work for a year, then return to Clark in September 2011 to begin pursuit of his master's degree and use his final year of basketball eligibility.
Powell and his cousin were out for a sunny Saturday afternoon motorcycle ride in mid-June 2011. Powell's sport bike was a new purchase, but he was an experienced rider and had his motorcycle license for some time.
He wasn't speeding down Route 20 or doing anything crazy when he went into a turn and the whole bike and back tire came out from under him. He slid across the pavement toward a telephone pole.
"I remember thinking, 'Oh, my goodness. This is going to hurt,' " Powell said. "I tried to brace myself."
With his concerned cousin standing over him, Powell lay on the side of the road, drifting in and out of consciousness and in agonizing pain. He had shattered every rib on the right side of his body. His collarbone and scapula also were fractured. His spleen was lacerated. He had punctured both lungs.
"They tell you that your life flashes before your eyes," Powell said. "You see it in the movies. I looked up and it was all white sky. I started thinking of every moment, of every person — my younger brother. I was just thinking I would never see my dad or talk to my mom. I told my cousin, 'Tell them I love them.' "
The ambulance rushed Powell to UMass Memorial Medical Center, where he would spend the next six weeks in a medically induced coma in the intensive-care unit. His heart rate and breathing were unstable. He underwent surgery to remove part of the middle lobe of his right lung and one of his ribs. He had chest tubes, feeding tubes, IVs, a tracheotomy. He flat-lined and had to be resuscitated three times.
"We really weren't sure," Lynnel said. "We really weren't sure. We thought we were going to lose him."
Faith, prayer and fantastic care from UMass' ICU-2 staff — including Powell's nurse, Bob Kozub, and Dr. Wiley Hall and Dr. Timothy Emhoff — got Powell's family through the summer-long ordeal.
"His caretakers were phenomenal," Lynnel said.
When Powell awoke from the coma to see his parents, grandmother, 20-year-old brother Jackson, and his girlfriend, Erin Peete of Clinton, he thought it was the day after the accident.
Powell had shed 50 pounds off his 5-foot-10 and normally healthy 175-pound frame. He had difficulty speaking. He wanted to write down his words, but it was hard to grip a pencil. His vision had waned. Ensure was the only thing on his menu, and he had a hard time keeping the nutrition shake down. But that might not have been the worst of it.
"I had so much regret," Powell said. "I felt so bad for everyone that I put through it."
His family assured him he had nothing to be sorry for.
After 40 days and 40 nights at UMass — his hospital bill, Powell said, was just under $1 million — he was moved to Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital in Westboro. Because he was so weak, Powell basically had to learn how to walk again. He began taking steps around Whittier with an aide at his side, progressed to taking one lap around the room, then two laps. He started getting around on his own with a walker, then a cane.
Arriving Aug. 1, he was expected to spend 8-12 weeks there, but Powell had other plans. He was determined to be home for his 23rd birthday, on Aug. 8.
"And he was," Lynnel said.
Powell continued his rehab at home with the help of his family, visiting nurses and a therapist.
And, according to plan, he was — miraculously — at Clark in September, beginning graduate school. He was still using a cane, so navigating campus while carrying his books was tricky, positioning his bony body in hard classroom chairs uncomfortable, and focusing during lessons a challenge, but he did it all, and he excelled in his courses.
By November, he was walking on his own — "My doctors couldn't believe it," Powell said — and in December, he went onto the basketball court for the first time since the accident. He did a little dribbling, failed to reach the hoop on a midrange jumper, and came up woefully short on a free throw as well.
A month later, he tried it again. He had begun eating solid foods, so he was stronger. In March, he tried running a little bit and playing some pickup ball. By spring, he was up to 160 pounds and that's when he told Phillips, "I think I should be able to play next season."
Powell had to request a waiver of the 10-semester rule from the NCAA. This required piles of paperwork and constant communication between Clark compliance coordinator Mickey Cahoon and the NCAA.
Powell found out soon after practice started in October that he would be eligible to play this year.
Lynnel wasn't sure she wanted to see him play in last week's home opener against Worcester State. And, wouldn't you know, five minutes after he came into the game, Powell — the team's backup point guard — took a charge and fell hard to the floor.
"Then he bounced up," Lynnel said, "and I knew he was back."
Powell, looking fit at 175 pounds, made his first start of the season in Tuesday's win over Nichols. The Cougars are in action tonight at Becker.
"He's still shaking off the rust," Phillips said, "but for us, it's a real plus to have him back. To fight all the way back, there were so many different ways to stop and he kept going. Why go through all this? Because he loves basketball and he loves being with the guys on the team."
Powell delivered an emotional speech before a recent practice that had his teammates and coaches near tears.
"He is such a good speaker and he talked about the accident and the adversity and how he's blessed and lucky to be playing college basketball," said team captain Brian Vayda of Sturbridge, who has known Powell since their AAU days. "After the accident, he didn't know what was going to be coming for him. To come back and play basketball in that short of a turnaround really shows you what kind of kid he is. Some of our younger players didn't really know Reed. They learned a lot about him from that speech."
In addition to playing basketball, Powell is doing an internship at Unum, taking five classes and refereeing middle school games this semester. He will complete his master's degree in May and already has been offered a job by an accounting firm in Quincy. He'll study for his CPA exam next summer.
"He got his life back," Lynnel said. "He showed me never to underestimate him and never underestimate the power of prayer and to never underestimate what you can go through and get to the other side."
Powell keeps busy so he doesn't have time to think about the accident and its aftermath. "That stuff is very hard to deal with," he said.
Sometimes, when he looks around the gym or the campus or his room, he thinks, "I can't believe I'm here."
But he is.
"I'm really blessed to be here and doing the things I'm doing," Powell said. "Everything in your life happens for a reason and you've got to accept the good with the bad, but everything will help you build your character, build you spiritually, mentally and sometimes physically as well. My family helped me not have regret. They tell me, 'Just you living is enough.' "

From HaskellWiki
|Part of Yhc
1 Obtaining Yhc
Either download a binary distribution, or compile it from source (see Yhc/Building). A binary distribution is probably easier, but there aren't any yet until the first release.
2 Setting the Package Path
You can either set YHC_BASE_PATH to something so that "%YHC_BASE_PATH%/bin/yhc" will run Yhc, typically the location of the inst folder if you are running from the source tree.
Alternatively, you can add your yhc executable to the PATH, and Yhc will find the other bits automatically.
3 Compiling Hello World
Take a sample file, HelloWorld.hs
=========== File HelloWorld.hs ===============
module Main where
main = putStrLn "Hello, World!\n"
$ yhc HelloWorld $ yhi HelloWorld Hello, World!
3.1 yhc
The yhc command takes a haskell source file, and generate a haskell bytecode file (extension, .hbc). The program always runs in make mode - so it will compile all requirements automatically.
3.2 yhi
The yhi command runs a haskell byte code file.
3.3 yhe
Yhe provides a Haskell 'command line' powered by Yhc. A gtk GUI also exists.

Posted on 06/13/2013 2:18:30 PM PDT by SeekAndFindEdited on 06/13/2013 2:21:33 PM PDT by Admin Moderator. [history]
MOSCOW Russian scientists claimed Wednesday they have discovered blood in the carcass of a woolly mammoth, adding that the rare find could boost their chances of cloning the prehistoric animal.
An expedition led by Russian scientists earlier this month uncovered the well-preserved carcass of a female mammoth on a remote island in the Arctic Ocean.

Oy, back when she looked like this:
Yes but imagine the looks on the Chinese faces when T-Rexs are parachuted in and they realize we've weaponized it.

Wooly Mammoth on display in Japan
Mammoth's fur is relatively intact
Wooly Mammoth on display in Japan
Mammoth's fur is relatively intact
A 30,000-year-old frozen wooly mammoth has arrived in Japan for a special exhibition.
The mammoth was found in Russia three years ago, and is approximately nine-feet long and named Yuka.
Authorities said it was ten years old when it died.
Nippon television network and two other countries sponsored the exhibit.
It has arrived in Yokohama now to go on display for summer crowds.
It's the first time the public gets a chance to gawk at a carcass whose fur is relatively intact.
The mammoth's internal organs are missing and scientists dispute whether they were extracted by humans long ago or modern man using modern tools.

BRISTOL, Tenn. – As students, faculty, staff, and fans packed the Student Center Complex for the second leg of Wednesday's Solid Blue basketball doubleheader, Logan Lyle gave them all something to cheer for with his game-high 22 points leading King to a 67-59 win over Erskine College. King's defense forced 21 turnovers to keep the Flying Fleet away from the bucket to help the Tornado to its 14th win of the season.
Erskine jumped out to a 7-0 run behind Roderick Perkins scoring the game's first five points on straight possessions. It was their first and last lead of the game as King responded with 16 consecutive points. Junior Scottie Hendricks (Radford, Va.) fueled the momentum shift with the go-ahead three pointed to give King an 8-7 lead followed by fast-break layup off a steal by teammate Michael Fortune. Hendricks then continued the team's rally and capped off his own personal 11-0 run with back-to-back threes leading to a 16-7 King advantage.
Michael Fortune (Beckley, W.Va.) kept the crowd roaring with another three-ball with 4:02 remaining and keeping the King lead to nine points. Both teams went cold over a three-minute span to close out the half though the Tornado took a 27-17 lead going into the half. Nine of King's points came off of 12 Erskine turnovers committed in the opening frame.
Logan Lyle (Unicoi, Tenn.) quickly made it known that the second half was his for the taking by hitting all five of his three pointers on the night. He opened the half with long-range makes on his first two attempts to extend King's lead to 12 points. Nearing the midway point of the frame, Lyle hit three straight threes that riled the crowd and built King's lead to a game-high 16 points. Lyle scored 11 of the team 13 points in just a span of 2:51, beginning with a layup as he rode the base line and kissed one off the glass. Following dueling layups from Erskine's Adison Lawrence and King's Keenan Froedden (Nashville, Tenn.), Lyle showed off his hot hand by hitting three straight treys in just over one minute of play.
King's lead was no fewer than nine points the rest of the way despite Erskine shooting 41.9 percent in the half. The Fleet committed nine more turnovers in the half keeping their offense off-balance while King continued to hold its distance to the final horn.
Lyle led all scorers with 22 points, matching his current season high for the second straight contest. He originally set the mark on the road against USC Aiken before matching it in the team's upset win over then-No. 12 Barton last weekend. In those three games, he has combined for a perfect 16-for-16 from the free-throw line and shot better than 50 percent from the field.
Michael Fortune and Scottie Hendricks joined Lyle in the double-digit scoring club with 11 points each. The two combined for 9-of-18 (.500) shooting from the field. Fortune also lead the Tornado with four assists.
Jason Seymore was one field goal and one rebound away from his ninth double-double of the season, finishing with nine boards and eight points on the night.
The win improves King's overall record to 15-5, the first team in the conference to hit the 15-win plateau. They possess a 10-4 Conference Carolinas record and currently stand atop the league standings by currently holding the tiebreaker over Limestone with their win over the Saints earlier this season.
The Tornado will play its next two games on the road. They open their mini-road trip at Belmont Abbey as part of the Solid Blue Road Trip heading to Belmont, N.C. on Feb. 9. Tickets are on sale for the event in MacClellan Hall during lunch hours or at the Tornado Alley Shoppe during business hours. Tickets are $20 for admission to the game, a ride on a charter bus to and from the game, and a $10 voucher for meals on the return trip. King will then play Lees-McRae in Banner Elk, N.C. on Feb. 13 to complete the basketball portion of the inaugural Battle of the Blue Ridge Cup.

Plastic or Planet
Concerned members of the Adams State University community formed a club, Environmental Action for Resources, Transportation and Health (EARTH). The club's purpose is to explore ways to make the campus environment more sustainable or "greener."
Part of ASU Community Partnerships' mission is to assist the San Luis Valley community in addressing community challenges through partnerships, projects and forums. Towards that effort, ASU Community Partnerships developed the "Plastic or Planet?" program not only to raise consumers' awareness about plastic consumption but to raise funds that will leverage additional funding for environmental projects. Staff members have developed a marketing plan that is designed to remind people to "recycle, re-use and re-purpose".
The City Market in Alamosa has agreed to sell the bags at its store and offer a rebate for promoting use of those bags back to Community Partnerships and EARTH. Adams State University's administration has purchased a reusable bag for every ASU employee. Other corporate sponsors are being sought. For more information on the program call ASU Community Partnerships at (719)587-8209.
The reusable grocery bags are made from natural cotton canvas, and when used on shopping trips they eliminate the waste of plastic bags. Not only is using the bags a way to help to reduce waste, but it is also a way to give back to the community. Each time a bag is used at City Market or Safeway in Alamosa, a small donation is given back to Adams State University Community Partnerships and the EARTH group. The bags will be available at City Market, Safeway, the Valley Food Cooperative, the Adams State Bookstore, or by contacting Community Partnerships at 719-587-8209.
The facts on plastic bag usage can be startling. Four to five trillion plastic bags are manufactured worldwide each year. Many of these plastic bags end up in landfills or are carried by the wind into forests, ponds, rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Plastic bags are often mistaken as food by marine animals, and about 100,000 marine animals die each year from ingesting plastic waste.

Retro-Styley Swimsuit
Added May 7, 2013
by caramia-made
British Columbia...
I can never wear store-bought one-piece bathing suits because my torso is way too long and they never fit well. So I made my own!
I used a vintage pattern from my stash: Butterick 3129. The idea for the white trim came from this little number I spied on Pinterest. Oh man, what a great place for sewing inspiration!

I forgot to mention that I added 1" of length in the torso. I probably should've added 2" total. Oh well – next time!
May 8, 2013, 07.28 AMby kihli
Your swimsuit is gorgeous and looks fab on you! I cannot wear store bought swimsuits as well, but for the opposite problem: my torso is too short and the fabric bulks up in wrinkles around my waist. I have thought about making my own retro swimsuit but never had the courage so far.

Oh, you should totally give it a go! The pattern I used was quite easy – you should have no problem, you are quite skilled :)
May 7, 2013, 02.08 PMby Tiffany Phares
Great swimsuit! I really like the white contrast! It'd be super cute with a little white cover-up :) I may have to see if I can find that pattern-as I prefer one-peice and it's hard to find a decent one. Never thought of making one myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
May 7, 2013, 05.32 AMby Mary Athey

Heroes of South Sudan: David De Dau
While we need to investigate and make public all violations of human rights in the South Sudan crisis, we also need to shed light on the many people who went above and beyond to help those from ethnic groups different from their own. These are the voices of those who went the extra mile. Their bravery and strength in light of the situation they faced is a testament to the extraordinary power of compassion, hope and the will to survive.
David De Dau, 38, lives in Gudele, Juba. Here is how he experienced the outbreak of violence:
On Sunday 15th December 2013, I arrived in Juba after a long drive from Gulu in Uganda. At around 8:30 pm, I heard gunshots from the Giada where the Presidential Tiger Guards were based. I got a call immediately after from a friend who worked with national security, telling me to stay put. I was shocked because I didn't know that South Sudanese people could still take up arms against each other.
Two days after the fighting started, I had to collect my mother-in-law from Miahusaba area. As I drove back, I was stopped by some policemen on the road. I reduced my speed to a snail's pace and rolled down the glass window. Police officer dressed in uniform: "Maale?" They asked, meaning peace be with you in Nuer.
Peace is good
"Maale mugwa," I responded. Peace is good.
This was obviously the wrong response as they cocked their guns at me and ordered me to get out and fall to my knees.
"Get him, he's Nuer."
My mother-in-law wanted to scream saying he is not Nuer, I ask her to keep quiet. I got out of the car slowly and stood at the front right-side of my car. As they were about to shoot, I opened my mouth to speak. What were a few minutes of running my mouth going to cost me if I was going to die? I had a few chosen words for them. This time I chose to speak in Dinka, my native language. The surprise on their faces was priceless.
I will never die on my knees
"I am not going on my knees. Feel free to shoot but I will never die on my knees." Bold, I know, but they did not shoot. I proceeded.
"If you had asked me in Arabic 'Salaam Aleikum', I would have responded in Arabic saying 'Aleikum Salaam'. Would that mean that I am an Arab? If you can answer that convincingly, then I am now ready to die."
They dropped their guns and looked at me intently, then at each other. "Where are you from?" they asked. Bold with the presence of life in my body, I decided to provoke them further.
"Why do you want to know? Why is it so useful for you to know where I hail from?" I asked.
"Just tell us where you're from," he repeated, now visibly irritated.
"I roughly speak five languages, so I am from five different places," I said.
"You, give us your ID!"
I'm a free citizen of South Sudan
"I left it at home. And even if I had it, what reason do you have for asking for it. Am I not a free citizen of South Sudan?" I asked, now also visibly irritated. I did leave my house for a reason and this was not it.
"Give us your Driving License!!!"
I did. They could not read.
They handed it back to me and told me that if I was moving around and wanted to stay alive, I should reveal where I am from and speak my language. Not everyone would be as patient as they were to me.
"My people have shot me."
My cousin had lost his life the same way only a few days before. He had responded in Arabic and before he could finish a sentence, he was on his way out. "My people have shot me," were his last words in Dinka.
The man who had pulled the trigger then dropped his gun and started crying. He had killed one of his own. The irony is not lost on me.
My mother-in-law and I drove to my house in silence. Sometimes there is so much to say but no one willing to say it.
No one stopped the car this time. We reached home safe. My compound had never been so full of people but I understood the need for people to find a safe space. My home is considered safe because I am a Dinka.
What does safety mean
I reflect on this as I say hello to my Nuer neighbors and their children who I have hidden in my house. How safe it is, I don't know. I am considered safe but I was almost killed today based on flawed logic. I am considered safe, yet people constantly stalk my compound asking for "the Nuer" that live in the compound next to mine. I remember one visit clearly.
"We know there are Nuer people who live in the houses next door. Do you know where they are?" they asked.
"I don't know where they are, they probably ran to the camp."
"Ok, then we will do something else to send a message," they said, walking to their houses with every intention to loot and destroy.
"Those houses belong to me. I am renting them to the Nuer neighbors you are looking for. If you destroy them, you are destroying my property. What message are you trying to send to me because you can just tell me now."
They left.
I wonder if I'd still be considered safe if they know that the people they were looking for were in my house.

CA1304: Specify CultureInfo
The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.
The latest version of this topic can be found at CA1304: Specify CultureInfo.
|Breaking Change|Non-breaking|
A method or constructor calls a member that has an overload that accepts a System.Globalization.CultureInfo parameter, and the method or constructor does not call the overload that takes the CultureInfo parameter. This rule ignores calls to the following methods:
When a CultureInfo or System.IFormatProvider object is not supplied, the default value that is supplied by the overloaded member might not have the effect that you want in all locales. Also, .NET Framework members choose default culture and formatting based on assumptions that might not be correct for your code. To ensure the code works as expected for your scenarios, you should supply culture-specific information according to the following guidelines:
If the value will be displayed to the user, use the current culture. See CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.
If the value will be stored and accessed by software, that is, persisted to a file or database, use the invariant culture. See CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.
If you do not know the destination of the value, have the data consumer or provider specify the culture.
Note that CultureInfo.CurrentUICulture is used only to retrieve localized resources by using an instance of the System.Resources.ResourceManager class.
Even if the default behavior of the overloaded member is appropriate for your needs, it is better to explicitly call the culture-specific overload so that your code is self-documenting and more easily maintained.
To fix a violation of this rule, use the overload that takes a CultureInfo or IFormatProvider and specify the argument according to the guidelines that were listed earlier.
It is safe to suppress a warning from this rule when it is certain that the default culture/format provider is the correct choice, and where code maintainability is not an important development priority.
In the following example,
BadMethod causes two violations of this rule.
GoodMethod corrects the first violation by passing the invariant culture to System.String.Compare, and corrects the second violation by passing the current culture to ToLower because
string3 is displayed to the user.
using System; using System.Globalization; namespace GlobalizationLibrary { public class CultureInfoTest { public void BadMethod(String string1, String string2, String string3) { if(string.Compare(string1, string2, false) == 0) { Console.WriteLine(string3.ToLower()); } } public void GoodMethod(String string1, String string2, String string3) { if(string.Compare(string1, string2, false, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) == 0) { Console.WriteLine(string3.ToLower(CultureInfo.CurrentCulture)); } } } }
The following example shows the effect of current culture on the default IFormatProvider that is selected by the DateTime type.
using System; using System.Globalization; using System.Threading; namespace GlobalLibGlobalLibrary { public class IFormatProviderTest { public static void Main() { string dt = "6/4/1900 12:15:12"; // The default behavior of DateTime.Parse is to use // the current culture. // Violates rule: SpecifyIFormatProvider. DateTime myDateTime = DateTime.Parse(dt); Console.WriteLine(myDateTime); // Change the current culture to the French culture, // and parsing the same string yields a different value. Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = new CultureInfo("Fr-fr", true); myDateTime = DateTime.Parse(dt); Console.WriteLine(myDateTime); } } }
This example produces the following output.
06/04/1900 12:15:12
CA1305: Specify IFormatProvider

IAG expresses frustration at county supervisors
For the past seven years, longtime local businessman John Frederickson and a group of intrepid fish-lovers have been trying to raise fish in the ponds and canals of the historic Conway Ranch, hoping to fill the gap left by a state fish hatchery program in rapid decline.
For the past seven years, longtime local businessman John Frederickson and a group of intrepid fish-lovers have been trying to raise fish in the ponds and canals of the historic Conway Ranch, hoping to fill the gap left by a state fish hatchery program in rapid decline.
But things have not always gone smoothly or quickly for the group and its government landowners (the ranch was sold to Mono County in 1999 and the group leases the land). This week, Frederickson and members of his Inland Aquaculture Group (IAG) put the county on notice that they had had enough.
"Anyone would be frustrated with this," he said. "It's been six, seven years and everything we try, it's always, tomorrow, tomorrow. We have invested almost a million dollars into this property and we are not ever going to get rich doing it, we are just trying to provide the county with a self-sustaining fishery in the event the state can't keep stocking. But we have been met with delay after delay and we just want the county to pick up the pace."
IAG documented its frustrations in a six-page letter that hit county supervisors email inboxes late last week, prompting an hour-long discussion Tuesday at the supervisors regular meeting (where a resolution to appropriate $60,000 for a new pipeline for the ranch was on the agenda).
The letter alarmed at least two supervisors enough to vote against the appropriation item.
"I think we need to be very, very careful right now," said District 3 Supervisor Vikki Bauer. "I don't think we should move on this until we know more."
"We just got this," said county counsel Marshall Rudolph. "It came completely out of left field, so we have not had a chance to really talk about it. We need more time to look at the details."
Rudolph said he believed IAG was wrong when it said it was not being allowed to fulfill its aquaculture agreement with the county.
"There are several statements in their letter that are not correct," he said. "We believe they are being allowed to meet the terms of their agreement. We hope this is not the prelude to a lawsuit, but it looks like it could be. That's not what we want. We want the chance to talk to them about all this."
But Frederickson said IAG is trying to hold the county's feet to the fire, not sue them.
"I'm a nice guy," he said. "I'm not going to sue anyone. But I want some movement."
The last straw, he said, was last year when almost all of IAG's inventory (fish) froze to death because a water source froze and created an ice dam that prevented water from getting to the fish. IAG took a $50,000 loss.
"If we had that water in a pipeline, this would never of happened," he said (a pipe would protect the water from the elements and not be prone to freezing). A pipeline to divert more water to the ranch fish rearing facilities has been in the works, but delays with permitting have slowed that down, too, he said.
"Maybe the county moved too fast and didn't really know the terms of the grants they used to buy the ranch," he said. "I'm not frustrated so much as I think perhaps they didn't know the limitations of these grants."
Rudolph said many of the problems that IAG notes in its letter are being worked out.
"I believed we were making progress," he said. "We're going to have to sit down with them and try to understand what they want. We certainly don't want a dispute with them."
IAG got some high level encouragement for its efforts at the Tuesday meeting. Ron Kovach, a nationally known speaker and angler who attended the Tuesday meeting, expressed his opinions and concerns.
"You have product failure," he said. "You are in a 911 situation. You have no idea how far your product has dropped. People are not going to come up here to Silver Lake or another lake for eight- to ten-inch fish. They are not going to drive all the way up here. A long term plan for sustainability is absolutely imperative."
Kovach discussed something IAG dreams of but has yet to get close to; a building on the Conway Ranch that would protect the fish hatchery operation from cold and heat and predators. That dream has met with resistance from CalTrans, one of the sources of the grant money that the county used to buy the 1,000-plus-acres Conway Ranch because the Caltrans grant was connected to preserving the scenic vistas. Caltrans has thus been slow to agree to add a building to the Conway Ranch site, no matter how well the building is camouflaged (IAG suggested a weathered barn design).
At the end of discussion, the board voted 3-2 to appropriate the money for the pipeline and said it would bring the issue back to the table at the mid-year budget review next week.
The vote, however, was not binding. Chairwoman Vikki Bauer in an email Wednesday said appropriating the money would require a 5-4 vote.
On another note, well-known aqua-culturist Tim Alpers was once a member of AIG, but is no longer. He announced a few weeks ago he is running for the District 3 county supervisor seat against incumbent Vikki Bauer and previous to that, he said he left AIG completely.
"I transferred my interest in IAG to my partners John Frederickson and Steve Brown on Oct. 1, 2011," he said in an email. "I resigned from the Conway Ranch Foundation Board of Directors on Jan. 1, 2012. Alpers Trout LLC remains under my control, however there are no formal licensing agreements in place at this time. I am allowing IAG to use the name Alpers Trout as a marketing tool at no cost. I have no relationship with IAG or the Foundation in any way."

sprockett, any word on your kites. I bet Simone/Mikael is just completely ignoring you right now.
I have about 100 pictures and 5 video's of my Royal gear completely falling apart so consider yourself lucky not getting those kites. Beg for a refund and stay the hell away from their gear.
The 3 riders in the pkra right now are not riding the gear they are selling you. this out of Simone's mouth himself.
Royal ruined my 2012 race season and don't give a crap to make it right.
My Royal gear is currently the biggest joke in San Francisco, Mike Zaijeck is shocked every time he sees my board and can't believe how poorly designed and built my board is.
What a joke, the biggest mess in 2011 and looking like they are going for another record in 2012.

APOC, School Kids Plan Unique Project
The Abused Persons Outreach Center, Inc. in Valley City needs toilet paper to give to families in need, and second-graders at Jefferson Elementary School hope to collect enough of it to build a Christmas tree at the school on December 18.
Assuming each student brings in one roll of toilet paper, the tree could include 111 rolls.
The center plans to use the toilet paper in gift boxes that will include items such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, deodorant, toothpaste and toothbrushes and other necessities that can't be purchased with food stamps. The boxes include luxury items like lotions or bath gels as they are available.
For the past five years, Grebel has been working with second-graders in a effort to teach them about abuse. She started with bullying in school and teaching the kids that they need to be up-standers instead of bystanders.
"The only way for bullying to go on is for you, as bystanders, to let it go on," she tells them.
Teaching kids to stand up for the victim makes it more likely that they will stand up for abused people as adults.
She teaches students about personal safety, how to deal with anger and encourages them to do a service project for the community.
Each grade at Jefferson chooses its own Christmas service project. The kids thought it was funny when Grebel suggested collecting toilet paper, but she explained to them how some people can't afford necessities like toilet paper and soap. Doing such a project teaches children empathy, she said.
The APOC is a non-profit advocacy and referral organization for people suffering from physical, economic, and sexual abuse, isolation, threats, intimidation, other psychological and emotional abuse or destruction of property or pets. In addition to a crisis hot-line that is manned 24/7, the center can assist in getting restraining orders, provide emergency short-term housing, and refer abused people to longer-term housing, social services programs and medical or psychological care.
Abuse, whether it's physical or emotional, can happen to anyone, according to Grebel.
In 2011, the APOC provided services to 720 people in Barnes County and more in surrounding areas. This included domestic violence against adults and children, sexual assaults and verbal assaults. And that's just the cases that are reported.
Abuse is a silent crime because it is very under-reported.
Reports of domestic violence typically go down during the holiday season, said Grebel, because even abusers have the Christmas spirit. After the holidays, however, when the credit card bills come due and stress levels go up, the incidence of violence goes up again.
Currently, the greatest increase in abuse is in elder abuse.
According to Grebel, this may be because more young people are returning home, and because the definition of elderly has been lowered to age 50. It's very difficult for parents to report their children for elder abuse. Also, the APOC has seen more cases of incest.
Currently, the APOC is well-stocked with toiletries for gift boxes, but paper goods and cleaning supplies such as Windex and multi-purpose cleaners are still needed.
To make a donation or for help with an abusive situation call the crisis center at 701-8445-0072. In a crisis call the 24-hour crisis line at 701-845-0078.

By Emily Colon
I think it's safe to assume that many college students dream of studying abroad. Well, what if I told you that dream could become a reality? Every single time you talk to people who have studied abroad, they all tell you that it was the best time and experience of their lives. I don't know about you, but I know that every time I hear someone talk about their experience, it makes me want to travel right then and there!
Unfortunately, I have not studied abroad because I am just a freshman, but I dream of studying abroad at least once if not more during my undergraduate education. What I want to tell you about is how to make studying abroad possible.
First off, the place to start is the Office of International Affairs located in Dempsey Hall. They can get you on your way. If your problem is not knowing where to go, that should not be a problem because you can pretty much go anywhere in the world. Many people's first thought is that they can't afford it, so they miss out on a chance of a lifetime experience. What most people don't know is that there are tons of scholarships available. You can even use your financial aid to pay for study abroad expenses.
Okay then, once you have a location in mind and have found a way to pay for it, you have the basics down, but still have so much more to cover. Other things you might want to cover are what you plan to do in this foreign country and how long you will stay. Many more things need to be planned before you embark on your trip, but these tips will get you started.
A great place and resource that can help and answer a lot of your questions is available to you right now on your computer! All UW Oshkosh students have access toThe Big Guide to Living and Working Overseas, an online database that has a ton of resources that deal with studying, volunteering and working abroad. It has tips on what you need to do to prepare for a trip and so much more. I have been exploring the page and have found it really useful. The next time you are thinking of studying abroad or are just curious, make sure you visit The Big Guide online.

Justin Bieber was a no-show, Kobe Bryant watched from the bench and Dwyane Wade was in a suit. So, it wasn't one of those typical rock-star nights in Miami when the Lakers are in town.
No, this was a night about things such as tradition and stability. Instead of Bieber, there was old faithful Jimmy Buffett. In place of Wade's offense, rock steady Chris Bosh led the Heat with 31 points. Instead of the annual treat of watching Bryant at AmericanAirlines Arena, Heat fans were encouraged by the quickly improving game of Greg Oden in a 109-102 victory against the Lakers.
Bosh's smooth jumper carried the Heat throughout the game, so it was only fitting that his 19-footer with 54 seconds remaining ended the shorthanded Lakers' comeback push. The Heat (31-12) led by as many as 16 points in the second half, but the Lakers cut that lead to four points in the final three minutes.
"When the shots are falling and my teammates are looking for me, it's a good feeling," Bosh said.
The Heat is 7-5 this month after back-to-back wins at home. Miami has swept its series with the Lakers in consecutive seasons and has defeated the league's highest-profile franchise five straight times in Miami.
LeBron James finished with 27 points and had 13 rebounds. It was his first game with more than 10 rebounds since Dec.10. He was 9 of 15 from the field, 2 of 4 from three-point range and 7 of 14 from the free-throw line.
"I'm just trying to maintain my focus while I'm on the floor," James said. "We're at the stretch run. This is the second half of the season and every game matters, and we understand that. We just want to try to get better with our game and that starts with me."
But Bosh was the star on this night. He outplayed his counterpart, Lakers center Pau Gasol, and went 15 of 22 from the field and 1 of 3 from three-point range to go along with six rebounds. Bosh has scored at least 25 points in four of his past five games. It was his second 30-plus scoring game of the season after a 37-point effort against LaMarcus Aldridge and the Trail Blazers on Dec.28.
"When his mid-range shots are falling like that, he's pretty dangerous," James said of Bosh. "And that rim looked mighty big for him tonight."
Bosh's 16-footer with 6:39 left put the Heat ahead by nine points.
The Heat led by 16 in the third quarter, but the Lakers made their run early in the final period. A fast-break layup by Nick Young following a turnover by Michael Beasley cut the Heat's lead to five with 9:54 left in the game. Young had 19 points off the bench, and Gasol and Jodie Meeks led the Lakers with 22 points each.
A three-pointer by Ray Allen gave the Heat a 101-94 lead with 3:49 remaining but a three-pointer by Meeks with 2:41 ensured an exciting finish. Following a timeout, James swished a difficult three-pointer from the wing to put the Heat ahead by seven.
Though Wade missed another game — his fourth in a row — Oden took another step forward in his come back. After his breakthrough effort Tuesday against Boston, Oden logged another strong performance in the first half against the Lakers. He played six minutes, going 2 of 4 from the field for five points, and also had two rebounds.
It was Oden's fourth appearance for the Heat and the first with more than 10 minutes of court time. He played 11 minutes total and finished with five points and five rebounds.
"I loved it. I really liked his minutes," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "What you're seeing is a little bit of missed timing from time off, but from a glass half-full perspective …w e don't have anyone else on our roster who can make those type of plays."
Battier's first field goal of the game, a corner three-pointer less than two minutes into the third quarter, gave the Heat a 62-46 lead and put the Heat's field-goal percentage above 58 percent. The Heat outscored the Lakers 38-18 in the paint in the first half.
Bieber, the embattled pop star, had tickets to Thursday night's game but apparently did not attend the game after his DUI arrest early in the day.

Nolan County Sheriff's Office reserve deputies sworn in
Nolan County Sheriff David Warren recently swore in two newly approved reserve deputies.On Tuesday morning, Oct. 2, the Nolan County Sheriff's Office added two more members to its roster. However, these two men won't get paid a salary for their efforts. Stephen Smith II and Chad Mitchell were sworn in as reserve deputies for the Nolan County Sheriff's Office.Both men recently completed their training and graduated from Academy #88 of the West Central Texas Law Enforcement Academy in Abilene. Smith and Mitchell endured night classes and Saturday classes over a seven-and-a-half month period to obtain the 796 classroom hours needed to finish the academy. Both took and passed their state licensing examinations and are now fully licensed peace officers.What sets these two apart is they both have other careers and are entering law enforcement in a volunteer capacity. "This is rare these days and very encouraging," said Sheriff David Warren. "Volunteerism is something that has declined in recent years and reserve officers used to be able to take a much more abbreviated amount of training to achieve their 'reserve deputy' status. Now they must take the same full amount of training as any full-time officer," said Warren. "We actually sponsored Stephen Smith through the academy and Chad Mitchell just chose us as his agency to volunteer for. These guys will be placed with experienced deputies and go through a field training program and orientation with our Sheriff's Office," explained Warren.Stephen Smith II is the eldest son of local residents Steve and Jan Smith and works for U.S. Airways. Chad Mitchell lives in Abilene and is lead pastor for Mission Abilene and was instrumental in starting the program Stop the Violence now entering its sixth year. Both men have a genuine passion to be involved and help people in this area. Sheriff Warren emphasized, "I am proud to have these two additional deputies and certainly appreciate their unselfish attitude and willingness to risk their own lives to serve folks here in Nolan County in an un-paid capacity."

Brianna Luna is the GSA president at Woodlake Union High School and recently became a youth trainer for the Central Valley.
Transgender Day of Remembrance is a day that we set aside every November 20th to pay respect to those who have passed in the transgender community. On this day, we take a moment to remember victims of hate and prejudice against those who identify as a gender other than the one assigned at birth. It began in 1998 with the murder of one beautiful transgender woman, Rita Hester, who never saw justice and inspired a candlelight vigil of 250 people. Since then, it has grown each year becoming a nationwide event for the entire LGBTQ community.
Although this day is set aside to remember, we also need to look around and realize that violence and discrimination are still prominent. Transgender people often face bullying, slurs, misgendering, and financial problems due to discrimination in the work place or the cost of transitioning. Trans people, and particularly trans women of color, face disproportionately high rates of violence.
This day can bring feelings of sadness, anger, and sometimes even fear, as we remember not only our trans brothers and sisters, but society's brutality against people for simply expressing themselves and pursuing happiness. But many in the LGBTQ community view this day with hope -- hope that our actions will create change and encourage acceptance. We look toward a brighter future where all are educated and united against ignorance and intolerance. For me, this day elicits confusion, sadness, and determination. I find myself unable to grasp the concept that people are cast out of society for simply being true to themselves, saddened by the oppression and violence, and determined to bring justice to this beautiful community and their loved ones.
And so, take time on this Transgender Day of Remembrance to honor those who have passed, spread awareness for their struggles today, and work toward a better future.
The photo above was taken by Owen Aptekar-Cassels, a GSA Network youth leader who published this post last week on how to honor Transgender Day of Remembrance.
